I got my oneways now so running 64P with the oneways should be a killer stock combo. I may practice this Saturday after all. See you at the track Harshguy. I'm not going to race but I will announce the races.....so be nice to me or I will say something funny that will mess you up during qualifying...LOL

you're no fun...LOL Let me know if the car rolls through the corners the way your Schuie did. I think that's all that's missing from some of the racers cars. (roll speed) The car is still fast in the corners to me but it will now be a lot better. Brush wear will also be better in mod since I won't be using the breaks at the end uf the straight now.

So what tooth 64 pitch spur do I need to use to when running stock. And if I use the Trinity spur gear adapter, I have to use the trinity spurs, right?

so far- We have found out that Trinity and Integy spur gears fit. I'm still waiting on my Corally gears to come. People have said that they are thin in size so we are going to test with them as well.

When the Integy fits, then the Rocket Sprocket from Parme/PSE should fit as well (the green ones)

Mike
one-ways are a complete package, (I think you will see they are designed pretty nice) There is also some individual parts available , they have been shipped should be out. Man mike the price deserved the exclaimation mark?

Sway bars not sure I think soon. (I don't work there but I am there alot...Losi)

for low roll center you will need to cut your blocks down (we are working on th blocks now not sure on the due date), and use the lower holes for the other bars. you will need to modify the front and rear bumbers, for clearance,(so I would use another set so you can change back and forth)

as for a stiffer bumber, leave the car on its wheels. We are looking into a better way but no promises.

64p have been sited at the factory and should be ready soon. (not sure when, again I don't work there but I am there alot)

still in last ... try shortening the rear camber link

Thanks Ron..... How fun was that Three Hours of Tamiya race you raced at. I think it would get rought after a while. How many times did you change Drivers during that? Did you and Jack get equal time driving or did one of you mostly do the pits?

but what tooth spur in the 64 pitch do i use? I would like to have pinion gears in the 30-34 range. I want to make sure the motor isn't cocked to one side due to too big or too small spur a gear.

Rocket- I was going to try that this weekend but now that the oneways are out should I still try this??? Will it be over kill? I guess since I have the time I should try them both.

Rodney- I have been playing with 125, 120, and 113 in 64P. In 48p I have used 87, 88, 89, 90, and 92. Just figure out what gearing you are running now using 48P and try to get as close to that gearing using 64P.

We learned a lot at the endurance race. The most important; do not feed Ron a granola bar while he is driving through the infield. Ever see a touring car use an infield berm and backside the other side? Enough said.

That and uhh, be sure your team-mate brings the 'special brushes'!!!! Ron, we have to call Fred to find out when the next one is. Maybe this time we can bring the XXXS.

Ron was the ironman, at one point we left him at the drivers stand for 1hour and a half.

36 battery changes and one set of Sorex 36Rs with 530+ laps on them. It was a blast.

Damn ...Sorex 36's with 530 laps on them! I thought I had the record ...these 36's show no wear on them so I started keeping track with hash marks on the inside of the rim, I have a set with 25 runs on them that are still usable (25 runs * 18 laps average per run = 450 laps).

Harsh,

Actually the tires were used at the Roar Nats and then used for the endurance race for 533 (3hours straight). How are the one-ways?
